I work about 15 miles out of town. On my drive home tonight, I got caught up in a hail storm of about 1" to 1.5" diameter. It is just wide open country out there, so no place to pull over for cover, not even a single tree along the side of the road.

Hood, roof, and the top edges of the doors, front quarter panels, and bed sides are all pretty beat up. Even lost a lense on one of my fog lights. I'll post some pics later tonight or tomorrow when I get a chance.

 

that sux dude

 

that really sux........hopefully your insurance will cover that

 

That does suck. I had a 93 Dakota and the same thing happened to it last summer while I was at work. Insurance considered it totaled and I bought it back and drove it for a while. It looked like ****. The only thing that wasn't hit by the hail was the passenger door and ext cab. I know how who must feel. Well not exactly because looks like your truck was a lot nicer than my Dakota but I know about how you feel. Sucks big time.

 

Thats too bad, hail is wicked when its that size but hey if ya decide to total it, can I buy your ignition system. We can start like a donor list thing, and all the members can carry around a beeper and when a Ram is close to demise, the beeper goes off, and we can harvest parts before it dies, sorry just a little humor, but I feel for ya

 

No, I appreciate the humor. That's pretty funny. I hope it doesn't need to be totalled, but if it does, I will probably buy another 2nd gen (manual transmission this time), and swap all my goodies into it. Otherwise, the money I paid for them would be such a loss.

This sucks though.

 

Exactly what I would do, especially If I had as many goodies as you had.....keep us informed of what the verdict is............i am in the medical field so thats where the donor list idea came from...take care

 

Damn, and I just got new gears too. Guess I could swap out both axles if I get another Ram.
Or, I could just keep it and turn it into a beater. I could start off roading all the time and let the trees and rocks cover up my hail damage.

 

You may be able to get it to a good body shop and they will take care if it, if not it must be pretty bad, I dont think i have never seen one that was damaged enough to total it out, so please post some pics or send them to bamory@bright.net, got my curiosity going as to the damage

 

dude, that sucks!!! stripe off all your goodies and put it back stock before the insurance looks at it!!!
